Book Description
U.S. Three-Day Event Team veteran James Wofford shares his secrets for training great jumpers. He assures riders that horses who are taught to jump using a gymnastic system soon become confident and efficient over fences. He carefully details how to train young horses using gymnastics—clearly illustrating how to set up each grid. He also provides a systematic sequence explaining which gymnastic to use when, depending on the horse’s level of training and the rider’s focus, whether it be cross country or show jumping. Exercises are given to help correct existing bad jumping habits in older horses such as refusals, run-outs, or improper striding. Whether you are just learning to jump or you are a seasoned expert, Wofford provides ample exercises for setting up your horse to succeed over fences.
JAMES WOFFORD is one the world’s leading experts on gymnastic jumping. He was a member of the U.S. Equestrian Team for over twenty years, winning two Olympic Team Silver Medals and four National Championships. For the last two decades he has concentrated on training the cream of America’s young event riders using the time-tested methods described in this new guidebook.

The Bible of Gymnastics, Feb 6 2007
By A. C. Christiaen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gymnastics: Systematic Training for Jumping Horses (Paperback)
This book is my bible, i have 3 or 4 copies: one for the barn, one for my house, and spares in case i leave one out in the rain (I have done so already). It is the best method ever, simple, straight forward, progressive. This method really works. It eliminated having to think about what i should do when i want to jump... I LOVE IT

Good, but not great, May 13 2010

This review is from: Gymnastics: Systematic Training for Jumping Horses (Paperback)
A good wee book on gymnastic work for horses. It is very text-heavy however with not a lot of pictures, and they are all black and white. Personally I find color pictures and diagrams extremely helpful when learning from a book, so if you are the same as me, I would not purchase this book. However on saying that it does have great tips and strategies and reasons on why gymnastics are great for your horse - it certainly has full merit, it is just that it is not written in a way that has made it appealing to me.

This review is from: Gymnastics: Systematic Training for Jumping Horses (Paperback)
An excellent book to have at home with clear instructions and diagrams on how to setup the gymnastics. The exercises start with very basic, easy to follow instructions and advance to more complicated and difficult. It's a great reference, I keep it in my barn and change my gymnastic every week or so to another from the book.
